Another Swarm target ticked off. I found this Shiny Pineco on stream and the third hunt in a row on this Black 2 underodds! Huge fan of this Pokemon, always thought it was super cute. The colouring is really nice, almost a golden bronze look to it. I don't mind Forretres but I'm all about Pineco.
I forgot to include the encounter table but this is a 100% repel trick from level 25 onwards! I used a level 42 Golduck as a lead though and it wasn't that much slower.
I've been having a ton of fun with these Swarm hunts in Gen 5 and still have a few more before I return to my quests.
Thank you for watching as always!

An exceptionally amazing hunt, I highly recommend this one. If Im being honest, this hunt alone sparked this quest idea entirely. Ive had this hunt on my to do list for a long, long time. The first time you visit the mountain, Bianca will team up with you to give you double encounters. You can also do this with Cheren in Pinwheel Forest for some amazing targets in the post-game.
Excadrill is one of my all-time favourite Pokemon. I love the shiny too. Delighted to add this to the quest. Its a fun one because youre able to only use Exploring Power 3 and not Lucky Power 2 as Excadrill is 100%. You dont reset as often to keep your Pass Orbs.
I highly recommend you try this if you fancy going for a Pass Power Pokemon. The only annoying thing is the Shards but it cant be helped.

Stark Mountain comes through for me on Phase 2. What a beauty. I love this shiny and it was one of several things here I really wanted. Can’t remember the last time I saw a Camerupt in Gen IV in the wild actually, full odds at least. I would have been content with Rhydon, Weezing, Magby, any of the 1% stuff or this and I got this!
I love the back and sunken look of this shiny a lot. I used one on my team in Hoenn once so it’s a nostalgic Pokemon to me. I think these late game Sinnoh routes are super underrated and under hunted. I have a plethora of targets I’d like to snag here so I’ll be returning to these late game routes sooner rather than later.
Thanks for watching as always. See you soon with another shiny!

Not my target but a very interesting shiny to find wild in 3rd Gen. I like this line a lot. Its one super common Pokémon (at least Tentcacool) that has a very nice shiny unlike things like Zubat or Geodude. Delighted to add this to my collection and show it off in Colosseum version.
This was a 50% Mantine/Tentacruel repel trick which as you can see from the video is quite slow. Its not too bad if you double/triple hunt it because single hunting would be torture so respect to those who decide to do it.
Carrying on here for Mantine, good luck on your hunts!

I have no words. RNG blessed me. I truly felt like this was going to take so long & it didnt. This is the best looking shiny starter, in my opinion, it reminds me very much of Mudkip but a little more, personalised. Im personally #GrookeyGang but this shiny is so nice so Im absolutely a member of #SobbleSquad too. I will eventually hunt for my little ape friend too.
I decided that despite GameFreaks ridiculous decision to lock the starters, it would be great to show the full odds dream is still alive. I dont choose a nature because you dont when you soft reset for a starter.
Edit 20/11/2019 - Apparently this is the rarer square sparkles animation that has recently come to light. Pretty cool I guess.

Third and final legendary golem shines very quickly to complete the trio for me in 4th Gen. Very happy with this one as its probably my favourite of the trio. I really like the blue/green tinge it has in 4th Gen. I personally believe it looks the best in this generation.
Delighted to have brought you these trio using the Regigigas distribution cartridge. If youre interested to see that being redeemed, please watch the Regirock video where I show it.
Regirock was after 7379 soft resets
Regice was after 1154 soft resets
Registeel was after 3288 soft resets
Ill be hunting for another roamer when I eventually go back to Platinum. Ive got some hunts going on in other games at the moment so not sure when Ill get around to another roamer but stay tuned;
Thank you so much for watching as always.
